Oso planning to go pro
So you don't care if people die?? Has this been proven?? I have heard it talked about, but I have never seen any scientific facts/data that support it. Is it out there?? It's a serious question, because I honestly have never seen one piece of data that shows that. You'd think with everything going on with covid, someone would have shown those #'s many times.
Not to rail on you gooo but this is another perfect example of what I was talking about...people ONLY talk about cases when they want to make a point, and ignore death count/% only when it's convenient will they bring that up. They have had 103 total deaths, again a .01% death rate. That's pretty standard % in most states. That seems successful to me. Wanna know what NO ONE talks about?? The overall recovery %...which sits about 97-98% nationally. I mean you aren't going to get a 100% regardless of pandemic.
You do realize you have to multiply by 100 to get a percent, yes? You've forgotten to do that on nearly every percentage you were citing (e.g. Florida, Miami-Dade, and here with ND). The case fatality rate in ND is 1.7% right now.
It's simple math..#deaths/total cases. That's how you get the ACCURATE %. You can use multiplying by 100 to distort the Numbers. Otherwise, how in the hell/why would you multiply by 100?? That has nothing to do with it.
We should totally reopen schools and have sports. What could go wrong?Sources: Marlins cancel game as virus spreadsThe Miami Marlins' home opener against the Baltimore Orioles Monday night has been canceled, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan, as coronavirus cases continue to pop up among the team.The Marlins remain in Philadelphia and continue to undergo testing after their weekend series there.Eight more players and two coaches with the Marlins have tested positive for coronavirus, as an outbreak has spread throughout their clubhouse and brought the total of cases in recent days to at least 14, sources familiar with the situation told ESPN.https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29546814/sources-marlins-cancel-game-virus-spreads
And now it begins. If MLB really wants to take this seriously, they will isolate and test everyone from the Marlins and the Phillies - and other teams the Marlins may have played - for a couple of weeks.
Serious question ... is there really much chance of transmission by sharing an outdoor baseball field with someone who has COVID? If I'm the Phillies' centerfielder, I don't see much reason to be concerned if a Marlins pitcher or third baseman tested positive. There's almost no chance I was in that person's proximity for more than a few minutes, it that, and any interaction would have been brief and outside.Obviously the Marlins needs to do extra testing (players currently are tested every other day) and quarantine those positive/exposed, but quarantining another team for two weeks because they were in the same ballpark seems excessive.
Certainly less risky than indoor sports. Still, it isn't just the third baseman - it's at least 14 Marlins players so far. And over the course of a three-game series against a team with so many known positive cases, it is quite possible that the centerfielder had enough contact with enough players to contract the virus. And remember - we aren't just worried about the Phillies' centerfielder. If anyone from the Phillies got it, he could unwittingly spread it to teammates before he even knew he was a risk.
The Athletic is reporting that Yankees-Phillies also canceled, and "emergency meeting" for all MLB clubs is set for today.
Of course, but it seems shutting down the Phillies would be an extreme measure not being taken in any other business/industry, where the risk of infection would be far greater.If, for example, some workers at my local Home Depot test positive, they're not quarantining the entire workforce for two weeks, much less everyone who shopped there.The standard for quarantining someone who's been potentially exposed has always been close contact, defined by the CDC as "someone who was within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes." When is an opposing player ever in "close contact" on a baseball field?
This seems like a prime situation for pausing a team while you do robust testing on anyone who may have been in contact and then proceeding instead of shutting everything down post-haste. But everything has seemingly been all or nothing lately
